I rotate two USB hard drives for offsite backups. I removed one and put in
the other and noticed the volume label was that of the old one (safely
disconnected), and that I couldn't access the volume even though the drive
letter showed. After rebooting the computer nothing changed, but I could run
chkdsk on it. It corrected several problems in the MFT, and now subsequent
chkdsk's show no problems found. I have one file still visible on the root
of the drive, but the backup folder and subfolders are not there. Looking at
the properties of the drive shows the used and free space that indicate
these files are still there. I can format, recreate the folders and just
start over, but I'm interested in trying to solve it if I can. Anyone seen
this before?
